Advising Resources

In addition to an assigned faculty advisor, a variety of other advising resources are available to undergraduates:

International Student Advising is provided through the
Office of International Education to assist international
students with personal and academic problems, as well as
matters relating to immigration and social and cultural
adjustment. A special orientation program, prior to the
beginning of each semester, provides new international
students with an introduction to the University and the
Burlington community. An active campus International
Club provides an opportunity for international students
to contribute to campus life and to make friends outside
the classroom. Students planning to study abroad should
also consult the Office of International Education which
is located at B162, Living/Learning Center.

Multicultural Student Advising at the ALANA Student
Center provides broad based support aimed at ensuring
the success of multicultural students at UVM. Services
include: academic advising; linking students to resources
and opportunities on campus; tutoring; peer mentoring;
social and cultural networking. Students may elect to take
part in The Summer Enrichment Scholarship Program,
a pre-first year opportunity that offers an academic
experience (6 credits) and provides an introduction to
campus and college life before the official start of the
school year.

Continuing Education Advising assists nondegree students
and nontraditional students on course selection, how to
apply for a degree program, general information about
UVM academic resources, and career and life planning.
The advisors work with individuals who are returning to
school after raising a family or working outside the home,
who are considering a career change, or who have recently
graduated from high school.

Preprofessional Advising Services include pre-health,
pre-veterinary, and pre-law. Advising related to these
fields is offered within Career Services. For more information,
